Black Racer Snake almost kills hawk
Video: News Producer Frees Red Shouldered Hawk From Coils of Black Racer Snake

And yes, the guy who took the video is an idiot.

Re: Black Racer Snake almost kills hawk
It's amazing that such a small snake was able to choke such a large hawk. I think you have to step back and let nature take it's course in that situation.

Re: Black Racer Snake almost kills hawk
He really should have just let it go on, if the snake kills the hawk, that's the hawks fault! People are always thinking the snake is the bad guy and wanna save whatever it's attacking...

Re: Black Racer Snake almost kills hawk
Loving both snakes and hawks, I would have done what the guy making the video did, that hawk looked like it wasn't going to make it, despite what that other guy had to say at the end of the film.

As is, they both live to see another day. Good outcome. Maybe that hawk got some education not to go after quite so big a snake.
